Auto Retouch Brush

The auto retouch brush enables you to automatically repair
unwanted details found within the image. Use this tool to
remove dust spots, blemishes, or distracting objects, with a
unique blending algorithm that matches the surrounding
structure, color, and tonality.
To use the auto retouch brush, follow these steps:
1Click on the auto retouch brush icon in the toolbar. The cursor will change into a brush cursor and
the auto retouch brush controls will be displayed within the tool options bar.
2Modify the Size option within the tool options bar.
3Click and paint on top of the entire object that you would like to automatically replace. Ensure that
all parts of the object that should be replaced are painted over before releasing the mouse button.
Do not worry about being precise when painting out the object, as a small amount of painting
outside of the object can yield better results.
4If you made any mistakes, use the Undo command
in the Edit menu or click on the Reset button in the
Auto Retouch Brush step that was added in the
Edit List palette.
